117 Provocation to the Celestials
Looking at the dozens of priests rushing out of the crowd, a smile appeared on Lei Zhe's face, but his smile was not friendly, and even a little distorted, his pale face looked like a beast ready to devour people, and his black eyes looked through the rain at the priests who were walking towards him, not being stopped by others!
Isn't it just to seduce you guys by talking so much and spitting up so much blood? If you are silent, we really don't know what to do, since you automatically jumped out to give away people's heads, buddies will accept them all!
Temple? Priest? God? We're going to destroy all of this, and there's no armor left!
What is the biggest obstacle to building a new faith in Uruk?
It's not royal power, because Gilgamesh decisively stood in Lei Zhe's camp, and Lei Zhe is one of the three kings, so the royal power can be completely ignored, and it is not a sacrificial temple, because the spiritual leader of the sacrificial hall is Lei Zhe, and they will definitely not oppose any of Lei Zhe's practices.
As for the people, it's not a problem, because they are always blind and follow the trend, this is the same in any country at any time, as long as most people choose a new faith, then the rest of the people will also choose, human beings are such social creatures, they will never let themselves wander on the periphery of the group.
The only obstacle is the old beliefs of the past, and the only obsolete beliefs in Uruk are the temples, the temples dedicated to the god Anu!
For this group of priests, Lei Zhe can't say that he feels very good about them, but he can't say that he is very bad, after all, this kind of ethereal thing like a god is very marketable in any era, because down to the common people, up to Huang Yanjing needs a spiritual sustenance, and the gods who have been shaped by people have become the best reliance, this problem cannot be solved even in the future, otherwise where do the billions of believers in Christianity come from?
When a person is materially satisfied, he often also looks for spiritual sustenance.
In a certain Guo's sentence: "If you do something bad, you don't want the ghosts and gods to know, and when you do something good, you always want to tell the ghosts, you make the ghosts too embarrassed..."
When a new faith is established, it will inevitably clash with the products of the previous era, which is completely inevitable, so Lei Zhe has long expected that when he establishes the Heroic Spirit Monument, the priests of the temple will definitely come out to be hostile to him, after all, they have a great advantage in terms of faith, which is similar to the situation in online games, when the old guild faces the challenge of the emerging guild, maybe it will become corrupt because of the relationship of time, but the time and connections of its existence are not comparable to the emerging guild.
The guards who maintained the scene had already received Lei Zhe's order, so when this group of priests appeared, they did not stop them, but a smile appeared on their faces hidden under their helmets, and their thoughts were basically the same, you jumped out at this time to accuse the king of being a heretic, aren't you looking for death? Don't you see that the people who were aroused by the king are going crazy? If it weren't for the king's silence, you would have been torn to pieces as soon as you spoke, and then you would have come out to find death after seeing the atmosphere!
Looking at the various angry priests running in front of him, Lei Zhe smiled and said, "Heresy? Are you referring to me? His words were heard by everyone with the help of amplification magic, and Gilgamesh and Enki both looked at each other, and then both smiled similarly.
You're killing yourselves!
Indeed, if this group of priests didn't run out, but chose to forbear, Lei Zhe really couldn't do anything about them, he couldn't say that the temple was demolished, right? If you do this, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the people, but if you don't demolish the temple, it will be a threat to the Heroic Spirit Faith, so Lei Zhe was really afraid that this group of people would not show their heads at first.
But now, I don't have any scruples.
"That's right, that's you!" One of the oldest elders in the priesthood pointed at Lei Zhe and shouted, "What you said just now is completely slandering the Great God of Annu! Don't you feel ashamed to blaspheme the gods as a king?! As the Son of God, you insult your own father, what qualifications do you have to be king?! Our temple will never recognize your status, you heretic! β
Lei Zhe, who was still waiting to be recruited, was stunned, and he was stunned by the words of the old priest.
Son of God?
Hey, you're kidding, aren't you? Buddy Nima is an orphan, he grew up in an orphanage, and now you have a son of God for your buddy, is it nonsense?
"Son of God, are you talking about me?" Lei Zhe pointed at himself, his face stunned.
"That's right! The only person who can become a king is the Son of God! You should feel honored that everything you have now has been given by God! β
Lei Zhe looked at the proud old man in front of him, he didn't know what to say, should he say that people in this era are stupid and naΓ―ve? Lei Zhe didn't expect that the expected stealing and tricking, deducting the black pot, and the scene of framing did not appear, and the farce of 'orphan turned into a god son' was staged.
Nima, let's not talk about whether I'm an orphan or not, we also have the identity of a demon king, you asked me to recognize the god Anu as my father, how embarrassing is this for the majority of demon kings?!
Thinking of this, Lei Zhe laughed, he held his stomach and laughed loudly, and he almost fell to the ground and rolled, he laughed very happily, and his smile was full of joy, Lei Zhe didn't even have the mood to complain now.
Wiping away the tears from his laughter, Lei Zhe straightened up and said, "Old man, what you said really makes me feel funny, son of the gods?" I? To tell the truth, we are orphans, not such a noble father, we can't afford to climb high! β
Saying this, his expression became serious: "You say I'm a heretic, where does this come from?" Is it because I built the Monument to the Immortal? If so, what about me being called a heretic by you?! I hope that the Uruks will remember them and remember these heroes who gave their lives for this country! God? I still say the same thing, whether it is the gods, the sacrificial temple, the temple, or the three kings, they are not farts compared to them! β
A little priest who was only about twenty years old was flushed and roared at Lei Zhe: "You blasphemer! β
"Blasphemy? Where does this begin? I have not received any gift from him, I have not knelt down to pray to him, I am not a believer in him, and in general I am a complete stranger to the gods, so why blaspheme when our relationship is like this? On the contrary, I would like to ask you believers what you have received from the gods! Lei Zhe said this, he raised his head and looked at all the Uruks present and said loudly: "I will also ask you this sentence, what do you get from the gods!" Life, wealth, food, or something else?! β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at the silent crowd, Lei Zhe smiled, smiling quite disdainfully: "The answer is no!" You have given your possessions to the gods, you have offered your faith to pray to the gods, and you have even sent your daughters to the temple to become gods to show your devotion to the gods! But what do you get? Nothing! Know what my first thought was after learning about these? That's pathetic! The second thought is ridiculous! What should I say about you without any return and without tiring continuous giving? Ignorant? Blindly? Or cheap?! β
Lei Zhe, who had been in a calm mood, became excited again, the blood vessels in his forehead bulged, his pale face turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot, because at this moment he suddenly thought of the original mythical Gilgamesh and Enkidu, what kind of gods are those gods? In their eyes, the value of human beings may not be as good as that of a beast, right?!
What qualifies such a god to be worshipped by humans? If such a selfish creature is called a god, then don't say blasphemy yourself, even if it kills gods?!
Lei Zhe's roar echoed in the sky with the sound of thunder, and he grabbed the old priest's collar and dragged him in front of him, the old face looked exceptionally clear: "You say I'm a heretic?!" Where were you when I killed thousands of enemies to protect Uruk? Where were you when Gilgamesh led his army against the city of Kulo?! When the warriors of Uruk died in the city of Kulo, where were you and the gods in your mouth?! Were you afraid of the enemy during the war? Did those gods sit in the clouds in the middle of the war, watch the farce below, and then bet on who will win?! I ask you, how can you stand here and accuse me of heresy without them? Without them, you might have become the enemy's ghost! Heterodox? If the people who died to protect you moths were heretics, then what are you?! β
Loosening the collar of the old priest, Lei Zhe raised his hand to the Heroic Spirit Monument behind him, and said to everyone: "You remember Lao Tzu, they are the greatest heroes of Uruk, and the reason why I built this stone monument is to let you always remember them, remember these people who gave their lives for you and this country!" If they don't deserve to be remembered by you, then who still has the qualifications?! β
Lei Zhe turned around, looked at the two boulders full of spears in front of him, he took out a bouquet of flowers from the storage space and put it in front of the boulder, and said quietly: "I said, this stone tablet is the last resting place for the souls of heroes, even if their ** is dead, but their heroic spirits will still watch me and others, you in military uniforms tell me, will you let them down?" β
"I swear that we will defend Uruk with our lives, the spirit of heroes is equal to me, and Uruk will live forever!" At this moment, the group of soldiers completely chose a new faith, because they knew that these two seemingly ordinary stones were their final destination, and perhaps one day in the future, the spear engraved with their name would also be inserted on this boulder.
"Do you see the 'gods' sitting in the clouds? Maybe you have seen it, will you accept such an outcome? I'm going to change, I'm going to change everything in the future! Looking at the stele, Lei Zhe muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and then a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, smashing right on top of the two boulders, and the lightning was powerful enough to shatter the two boulders!
Seeing this lightning, the faces of dozens of priests flashed with frenzy, they thought that this was the gods punishing this heresy in front of them, yes, it must be like this!
The lightning was blocked two meters away from the Immortal Monument, a faint white film of light blocked the lightning, this lightning immediately exploded after hitting the white light film, and the splashes of electric light fell to the ground and exploded, and even a few flew past Lei Zhe, hitting several priests behind him.
After the lightning, the light film also disappeared, and Lei Zhe still stood in front of the stone tablet, smiling and muttering to himself: "Are you dissatisfied with my provocation?" Then come, sooner or later, I will drag you down from the throne of the gods..."
